Can you one hand the 3401?

Just as title states. Can you one hand the 3401 when applying waxes and sealants to the roof of vehicles? Keeping in mind of course using proper technique and keeping the pad flat.

Thanks

Yes. Not a problem. I do it quite often.

I one hand the 3401 and compound the trunk lid while holding it open with the other hand...

FLEX doesn't own me. I own it. Lol

Ya, no problem one handing it. The safest way obviously is to use 2 hands, but when you need to, one handing it is no biggie.

Thank you both for the fast replies! Great to hear!

Yes, i'll add in too. I can 1 hand it easily when needed and sometimes just for fun. I 1 hand my rotary too sometimes. It's usually at a slower setting but you're using it that way with an LSP application (3401). Or jewelling.

Yep, I do it all the time... mostly because I'm short

I dont know as I would try to one hand it on speed 4+ but while waxing sure its plenty safe that way. Yes you could at 4+ but to me that is risking it a little too much.
